 The
second day of OFEK in Petropavlovsk was opened by "Shalom" vocal
band. It sang Jewish songs, and the audience applauded upright.
 A
lecture about the Jewish calendar was also interesting. It was prepared
and presented by Prof. Alexander Nikiforov, a teacher of North-Kazakhstan
State University.
 Then
a dancing studio presented a passionate Chassidic dance. It was followed
by a story of a Jewish artist from St-Petersburg Sergey Reichenberg.
Due to Stalin's regime he had to move to Kazakhstan. This year the artist
celebrates his 90th anniversary. An exhibition of his painitings is going
to be presented on the third day of OFEK.
The meeting finished with a bog concert which included performances
of "Shalom" vocal band and "Hatihot" children's music
studio. Other creative teams of the town also took part in the concert.
The guests thanked the organizers and congratulated them with one more
successful festival.
